Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 3Volume 2 .1 - The Love Letter Predator...?

The Love Letter Predator…? 1

July 7th, Tanabata.

According to the forecast, it seems that the clouds will persist from this evening through tomorrow.

After all, the probability of clear skies on Tanabata is only around 26 percent (rainy season).

Perhaps the weather gods are considerately hiding Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair) as they enjoy their once-a-year rendezvous behind the clouds.

Sakuto was on his way to the cafeteria while pondering such things.

Along the way, he joined the cheerful Chikage, and the two headed to the cafeteria together. She had a face as bright as a clear starry sky.

“Did something good happen?”

“Yes! I’ve been so happy thinking about yesterday. Yesterday, you said to me, ‘I will protect you with all I have!’, Sakuto-kun!”

“Ah, well… I didn’t say that. Why are you portraying me as some kind of wild character?”

Whether it was her ideal image of a boyfriend or some kind of mental embellishment, Sakuto couldn’t tell.

But if his words and actions were going to be exaggerated fifteenfold, he thought he might need to be more careful about what he said and did from now on.

“By the way, I wonder if Hikari is being chased again today?”

“LIME still hasn’t marked my message as read… I hope Hii-chan is okay…”

As they were talking and descending the stairs, they reached the first-floor landing when——

“——Ah, Sakuto-kun, Chii-chan!”

Hikari was dashing down the stairs that they had just descended.

“Hikari, are you being chased by Higashino-san again tod——Whoa!”

Sakuto and Chikage were suddenly yanked by the arm.

“Wait, Hii-chan…!?”

“Talk later! I just need you to run with me for now!”

It sounded like a line straight out of a movie scene——

“Why do Chikage and I have to run too!? Wait, Hikari——”

＊ ＊ ＊

Dragged along by Hikari, they ended up on the connecting corridor between the classroom building and the clubroom building.

It was a perfect place to hide during break time since it was deserted——

“So, why do Chikage and I have to be involved…”

Panting, Hikari was met with a bit of dissatisfaction.

“We haven’t been able to spend lunchtime together recently.”

“Well, yeah, but…”

Suddenly involved in this and now on the complete opposite side from the cafeteria, they pondered what to do next.

The closest place was the school store, but what now?

“Hii-chan… why don’t you stop running and have a proper talk with Higashino-san?”

“But she doesn’t listen to anything I say…”

“Hmm… If she’s the stubborn Chikage type, it might be better to sit down and talk it out…”

“Exactly, have a good talk and… Sakuto-kun, did you just say something weird?”

“I’m just really hungry…”

He tried to brush it off with a wry smile, but Chikage frowned and puffed out her cheeks.

“Anyway, running away isn’t going to solve the problem, so should I step in and mediate?”

“That would be great, but do you think she’ll listen?”

“Why not just submit a resignation from the club if she’s not willing to listen?”

“I’ve thought about that, but…”

Sakuto wore a somber expression.

Hikari has had experiences of frequently missing school after struggling with interpersonal relationships in the past. Therefore, it was also important to pay attention to the relationships surrounding Hikari when offering her advice.

It was perhaps a mistake to have casually brought up the topic of submitting a resignation from the club.

If Higashino Wakana was her classmate, he had to consider the aftermath of her quitting.

“But maybe you’re right… I’ll pick it up after school today while I’m at it.”

Relieved to see Hikari’s smile, Sakuto felt a bit more at ease, but then——

“Huh? What do you mean, ‘while you’re at it’?”

“I’ve been called by the homeroom teacher… I’ve been absent for a while, so I have to take some supplementary lessons. I didn’t take the midterm tests either…”

Hikari scored perfect marks in three subjects on the recent proficiency test.

Such supplementary lessons seemed unnecessary for her, but they were apparently going to be taken into account for the final term tests and would contribute to her grades for the semester, so it would be better for her to attend.

“Ah, actually, I have a meeting of the audit committee after school today…”

“Then you’ll be busy after school too, Chikage?”

“Yes. It will probably take about an hour.”

“It’ll be about the same for me. Will Sakuto-kun go home ahead of us?”

“No, I’ll wait somewhere until you both finish your business.”

Without much thought, Sakuto said this, and the expressions of the twin sisters brightened instantly.

“That’s what we——”

“——really love about you, Sakuto-kun♪”

“Huh? What? Why?”

Confused and feeling a bit embarrassed, Sakuto turned his face away from the two girls.

However, his gaze then landed on a person who was looking around restlessly——

“Wha!? …Oh, it’s Higashino-san.”

“What should we do!? She looks like she’s coming this way!? Should we head to the club building!?”

Hikari spoke in a flustered tone while Sakuto and Chikage waved their right hands with a calm and smiling face.

” “Goodbye.” “

“You cold-hearted people——!”

Even if it was a joke, Hikari was genuinely panicking.

‘Should we flee to the club building together?’, she thought, but that would mean moving away from the store and the cafeteria.

At that moment, Sakuto’s eyes caught a large cleaning locker——

“——Huh? I’m sure they went this way…”

While looking around, Higashino Wakana arrived at the spot where Sakuto and the others had been just moments before.

“That’s strange… I wonder they go towards the club building…”

As Wakana stood pondering nearby, inside the large cleaning locker——

(——This is a complete disasterrr——)

Sakuto was filled with regret.

He had taken Hikari and Chikage into the cleaning locker, but it was more cramped than he expected.

In other words, what was happening was——

“It’s so tight, it’s dark… Why do I have to be in here too…”

“Shh… Chii-chan, you can’t make any noise.”

The situation had turned into quite the predicament.
